Milikan Oil Drop Experiment Objective To experimentally determine the quantum nature of charge by using the equipment especially designed for this experiment. Theory A spherical drop of oil‚ falling through a viscous medium like air‚ will quickly reach a constant velocity. When it reaches this equilibrium state‚ the viscous force is balanced by other forces acting on the drop‚ such as gravity‚ buoyant forces from the air‚ electrical forces‚ etc. In this experiment an electrical force of varying

In 1946 less than a year after the Atomic Bomb was dropped on Hiroshima‚ John Hersey wrote a book that tells the stories of six different survivors of the bomb. He tells about what was happing right before the bomb was dropped‚ how they survived and tracked their lives after this tragic event. Reading through this amazing description on Hiroshima has been the only time I am not proud to be an American. Seeing the devastation that was caused by the Country I call home was really hard.

Secondly the bomb was illegal to use (yes I said ILLEGAL). “On September 30th‚ 1938 the League Of Nations issued an unanimous resolution outlawing the intentional bomb of civilian

This capsule that I made was not what I was thinking at first but when I started to build it‚ I saw that this capsule would hold better than the one that I was thinking which was a triangular capsule with the egg in the middle but I saw later one that the egg would break if it hit one of the flat sides.

dropout is an individual who does not complete his or her education by earning a high school diploma. (Natrello 1986) Natrello explained this in his book " School Dropouts" that the average student who drops out does not return to finish his or her schooling. He went on to say that a person could drop out at any level of educational endeavor‚ however‚ for the sake of this discussion it will be on the high school level in particular. Natrello suggest that the average dropout has specific characteristics
